This was funny. I laughed and got in trouble for being to loud in the library. I can totally see him doing something like that to throw her off and then it backfiring onhim. Story of my life. I liked this one a lot. UACCM ENG101

I'm a bit confused with this chapter - is it in the correct place? This quote: Hermioneís mind flew to their time alone together weeks ago in Hogsmeade. Although he had avoided her since, except his entreaties to comforting her nightmares, she couldnít seem to forget their drunken encounter. She had stayed away from him as well discounts the events of the last chapters, in which Hermione and Sirius were very close - they were not avoiding one another. Unless it's just me being awkward again.

Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the chapter. Tonks is wonderful, and her reaction to using raw eggs to make cookies is so typical of her. And then Remus's way of talking around the subject. You write them amazingly well. =D

nice chapter, and a great place to add some comic relief. I can see a couple things going on --- the readers are starting to see the characters more fully developed and as real people, Hermione is starting to get her head around what she wants with Sirius (but just lust, or love?), and everyone is getting used to having Sirius around. Great job!
